Panda Diversion Channel Sedimentation Management & Contingency Plan (BHP Billiton, February 1998)
This is BHP Diamonds Inc.'s Sedimentation Management and Contingency Plan for the Panda Lake Diversion Channel at the Ekati Mine in the NWT, addressing sediment impacts to Kodiak Lake that occurred during the 1997 spring freshet. The plan outlines short-term stabilization and mitigation measures (including Grizzly Creek restoration, bank stabilization, and sediment curtains) and long-term monitoring and restoration strategies to minimize future sedimentation from channel construction and permafrost degradation.
